No. 1 UConn head coach Geno Auriemma made his record 655th appearance in the Associated Press Top 25 women’s basketball poll on Monday, breaking a tie with Tara VanDerveer.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

His Huskies (29-0), who received all 31 first-place votes, are the only unbeaten team in the country and have won 45 consecutive games dating back to last season.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Auriemma, 71, has been the coach at UConn since 1985. He has guided the Huskies to 12 national championships and is the winningest coach in NCAA Division I history.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The top five was unchanged this week with No. 2 UCLA (27-1), South Carolina (27-2), Texas (26-3) and Vanderbilt (25-3).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

LSU (24-4) moved up to No. 6 from No. 7, the spot claimed by Oklahoma (21-6). The Sooners and No. 9 Iowa (22-5) climbed four places, while No. 8 Michigan (22-5) and No. 10 Louisville (24-5) each dropped two.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

A four-game losing streak pushed Tennessee (16-10) out of the poll for the first time this season. Princeton (21-3) re-entered the poll after a one-week absence.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
